Exactly. That is why I was so puzzled when Fangghostwolf said that they only Nitride treated the outside. I'm still confused about this, but after what I have learned now, I wish I would have ordered the stainless steel barrel. I wanted nitrided barrel since they last longer than stainless steel and are less sensitive to heat. But that is only if the bore is nitrided. I'll ask BCA if I can swap for stainless steel if they determine that my barrel needs to be replaced to obtain 1 MOA.
